Toys from the Attic recently received a ton of equipment from an audiophile’s estate. The previous owner kept the equipment in a climate controlled environment and every piece is near mint or better, any differences will be called out. We have throughly tested and reviewed all equipment and you may buy with confidence. In an attempt to bolster flagging sales in the by now declining reel to reel marketplace, Akai came up with this striking, small and easy to use machine that would, with its seven inch reel capacity, fit into almost any hi-fi console, much like a cassette deck. Three DC motors were incorporated but the reel tables were still belt driven, probably the worst design fault Akai made on this deck. Two capstans were used, but not in a dual capstan drive capacity. The capstans turned in opposite directions to each other with only one engaged at a time, depending on tape direction. This did, however enable a very quick reversing turnaround capability (auto-reverse took only 0.4 seconds). The tape threading system (left) was quite unique. The tape was taken up between the reels by means of a loading roller. The six heads were positioned in between the reels with the three forward direction heads facing the three reverse direction ones. The loading roller made tape threading extremely easy. All one had to do was to place the tape under the tension arms and the roller lifted it into the tape path. At the finish of the tape both tension arms dropped, the right arm activated a micro switch which dropped the loading roller. It had two separate left and right ‘line in’ level knobs plus one master record level. Oddly enough, no microphone jacks were provided, Akai preferring instead to offer the MM-77 microphone mixer as an optional extra. The GX-77 had a cueing switch, a three-mode timer-start switch, a reverse selector switch, a bias adjust and two speeds: 3¾ and 7½ ips. Head cleaning was extremely easy since one only had to raise the hinged cover to expose the heads. Like the GX-747, the GX-77 had a digital counter reading up to 99.59 minutes.

We often use a background removal tool so that you get to see all aspects of the actual product. We try to sell products at a fair price and do not care of make money on shipping but do need to cover our expenses. If you’re interested in one of our products but the shipping seems out of line, please contact us so we can review the ebay shipping calculator and perhaps come to an agreement. Additionally, we try to be the lowest priced for similar items so if you find we are not the lowest for an exact matched item reach out and make us an offer! Power cables shown in listing are often interchangeable so you may not get the exact power cable shown in the listing; however, it will be in working and good condition similar to what is shown in the listing. Similar to previous comment, I take my own pictures and in the vast majority of my listings (new items may be the exception) what you see is what you will receive, no more and no less. If there’s ever a problem, please reach out so we can make a fair effort to resolve positively! We can only resolve what we know of.
